2 bond pair and2 lone pair of electrons

24
Q

what does a positive charge on an nitrogen atom mean

A

4 bond (no lone pairs)

25
Q

what does a negative charge on an nitrogen atom mean

A

2 bonds and 2 lone pairs

26
Q

what does no charge on an nitrogen atom mean

A

3 bonds and 1 lone pair

27
Q

what do resonance structures show

A

spread of positive charge

28
Q

how do resonance structures show the spread of positive charges

A

in a linear fashion [a combo of dif structures]

29
Q

what are the three ways that determine the most significant structure of resonance strictures

A
  1. Full octet of electron on atoms are more significance
  2. Having two opposite charges on carbon atoms is generally less significant
  3. Minimal charges are more significant than structures with several charges
30
Q

what kind of structure would be most significant of resonance structures

A

-minimal charges
-full octet of electrons
-no opposite charges on carbon atoms
